Alcaic Metre in the English Imagination
«This book offers an original study of the reception/appropriation of the so-called Alcaic strophe in English-language poetry, and through deft close readings of several poems from the early modern period up to today rightly demonstrates that a neglect or ignorance of the use of classical metrics comes at the cost of a “dimension of poetic expressiveness”.»
